This guy is using images copied from the internet for things he doesn't own... but is willing to sell.
I reported his auctions to eBay, along with links to the websites he's copied. eBay sees no problems... That infuriates me. Anyway, be careful...

Re: Ebay Scammer
Hi JerryVan,
I saw that listing and thought it was some type of high end crapophone, which is a contradiction in terms. Thanks for taking the action you did.

You really thought a genuine Victor VI was a Crapophone? I'm surprised.Jmcmahan67 wrote: Mon Feb 17, 2025 6:00 pm Hi JerryVan,

Re: Ebay Scammer
Not quite. There are just as many con artists in the UK, US and mainland Europe. I've dealt with several Indian dealers and the only problem has been the cost of shipping, perhaps not surprisingly.

Re: Ebay Scammer
Steve,
As for the comment about a genuine Victor 6 looking somewhat like a crapaphone, I really didn’t look at it that closely the first time. It was just a passing thought.

Maybe if you report the seller to eBay, they'll finally be convinced it's a fraud.EKzono wrote: Tue Feb 18, 2025 1:11 pm These are the actual pictures of the Victor 6 I bought and own now!!
